Finding light for Scotch Bonnet in your home

How to fertilize Scotch Bonnet
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Scotch Bonnet after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
